MOTOR CYCLE RACING

MOTOR CYCLE RACING

Each year about 30 different national titles are competed
for in meetings run under the auspices of the New Zealand
Auto Cycle Union, which controls the motor cycling sport in
New Zealand. Some 3,000 motor cyclists are members of the 38
clubs affiliated to the New Zealand Auto Cycle Union. The
Union grades riders and issues three classes of licences for
competitions: a motor cycle trials licence; a licence – other
than speed – for more experienced riders; and a full
road-racing licence, which is a pre-requisite for
participation in the Tourist Trophy events.
